Started getting ready for our new arrivals.
We will be getting say old chicks April 14th. So I started getting the brooder/coop built. It is approximately 8'x8'x9'.
As soon as it is finished I will get started on the flight pen. The pen will be 20'x40'x6'.
Should be able to get the Brooder/Coop finished up by this weekend. Roof frame will go on tonight. Should be able to finish sheeting
the last wall, get the door built and put in, and get the roof finished up Thursday evening or Saturday at the latest.
We will be raising Ringneck and will be releasing the majority. Our plan is to release approximately half around October and then the rest right before breeding season next year. I know from a lot of the reading I have done that we shouldn't expect them to establish a wild population but if a few stuck around the house that would be a bonus.
Enjoy reading everyone's post on the forum and figured I would share our journey.
Thanks from Ohio!
